On March 13 Breitbart News reported that House Republicans were eyeing a repeal of the gun ban for military veterans. On March 14 retired Army General David Petraeus and his gun control group blasted the proposed repeal as “irresponsible and dangerous.”

In a January 21 CNN op-ed, gun control proponent Mark Kelly pledged that he and wife Gabby Giffords will fight against the pro-gun Trump administration in general and against national reciprocity in specific.

Mark Kelly, a gun control proponent like his wife, Gabby Giffords, specifically cites Trump’s support of concealed carry for self-defense in the wake of the June 12 Orlando Pulse attack. In that attack, 49 unarmed, defenseless patrons were gunned down in a gun-free zone.

During the January 31 airing of This Week with George Stephanopoulos, Democrat presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton said she is endorsed by Gabby Giffords to “stand up to the gun lobby.” Giffords and her husband Mark Kelly launched Americans for Responsible
